What Causes Goopy/crusty Eye And Runny Nose In A Baby?
My 13 month old has a goopy/crusty eye(right eye only), runny/crusty nose and a cough. I also think her throat might hurt. She has not been around anyone with pink eye. (I know that is not the only way to get it) I just didn't know if it could be something else becasue of the other symptoms.

Hi,
I just read through your question. In the majority of cases, this combination of symptoms is caused by a harmless virus. It typically lasts for 7 to 10 days and then resolves on it's own. It is important to keep the eyes clean so as to avoid any bacterial infection. Otherwise, there is no reason to be overly concerned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Eric Goldstein
